A scarf is the most common accessory to use to hide your hickey. Just make sure you're wearing it during the right season and that if you're indoors, you don't look weird when you keep your scarf on.
There's never any reason to shame someone for having a hickey mark — like all forms of consensual sexual behavior, you don't have to justify someone making out with your neck — but the paradox of the hickey is that it takes something private and creates a public, lingering effect.
“I burned myself with my curling iron.”
These are especially good excuses for when you have a hickey on your neck. “I was straightening my hair and burned my neck with the flat iron.” “I was waxing and made the wax way too hot.” “I left a heating pad on for too long and it actually left a mark.”
Use a Cold Compress
"And the sooner you can do it, the better. It's analogous to trying to minimize swelling after an acute injury." Use a cloth soaked in cold water, an ice pack, or even a cold spoon on the hickey for 10 minutes a few times a day for the first day.
The toothpaste method to treat a hickey
The toothpaste method works as follows: Apply a layer of toothpaste or peppermint oil directly to your hickey, the area will start to tingle. When the tingling stops, remove the excess oil or toothpaste with a clean wet cloth.
“Hickey” is a slang term for a bruise caused by sucking or kissing a person's skin during a passionate moment. A hickey can be a trophy from a pleasing make-out session, but it can also be point of shame: something that a girl feels she must hide from her parents and teachers.
Hickeys are like friendship bracelets - juvenile and a little bit childish. While they are great and maybe even significant when you're a kid/teenager, they tend to lose their appeal the older you get.
It's just a mark. It does not harm them (Unless it's a vampire suck). It doesn't hurt anyone around them. And it's I think it's completely okay if it's with another person that's nice and considerate.
Try a color corrector with red or orange undertones. Scibelli recommends a salmon tone if you have fairer skin, and a mango color if you have darker skin.
"It's not the hickey itself that's making you aroused, it's the act of kissing that's causing the arousal," Dr. Jaber says. For some people, it can feel good to get kissed on the neck. The neck is full of nerve-endings, which can make a kiss there a lot more pleasurable.
Eraser method: Take a small pencil eraser and place it any where on your hickey. Next begin to twist the eraser left and right moving it all around the hickey. Again, this method could possibly make the hickey worse, so be careful not to overly irritate the area.
Switch to warm compresses.
For this hickey treatment, heat water in a bowl in the microwave until it's warm (but nowhere near boiling). Then dip a washcloth and apply it to your hickey until the cloth cools. You can try this two to four times a day until the hickey heals.
Hickeys are bruises that appear as a result of sucking or biting the skin. It is not possible to get rid of a hickey in seconds or minutes because the bleeding underneath the skin takes its own sweet time to clear up. A hickey may take up to two weeks to heal.
You want to suck hard enough to create a decent seal but not so hard that you cause pain. This will take about 20–30 seconds. After you're done, the hickey will typically start to appear right away and may get more intense over the next hour. The bruise will first appear pink or red and then start to darken.
Because a hickey is a type of bruise, some basic first aid principles can help reduce the appearance of a hickey if a person acts quickly. Applying a cold compress or ice pack to the affected area for 15–20 minutes can stop any bleeding, reduce swelling, and help the healing process.
Usually, neck areas are popular spots for giving a hickey, which is fine if your partner has long hair. You can also consider other spots like the crook of the elbow or the inner thigh. To give your partner a hickey, make an O with your lips and press them firmly on your partner's skin.
Why do people give love bites? Honestly, some people just get caught up in the heat of the moment. Alternatively, possessive types may use love bites as a mark of possession to show everyone else you are taken. In which case you should take that as a red flag.
